Standard lead time: 4-5 days
Layer thickness: 0.25 mm (for ABS, ABSi)
0.18 – 0.25 mm (for ABS-M30, ABS-M30i, PC, PC-iso, PC-ABS)
0.18 mm (for ABS-ESD7)
0.25 mm (for ULTEM
TM9085)
Standard accuracy: ± 0.15% (min ± 0.2 mm)
Surface finish: FDM parts typically have a rough surface but all kinds of (very) fine finishing are possible.
Maximum part dimensions: Dimensions are unlimited as parts may be composed of several subparts. The maximum build
envelope is 914 x 610 x 914 mm
Capacity: Materialise houses more than 30 FDM machines
